PERIODICAL PUBLICATIONS.-Who's Who, 1901. (A. and C. Black, 5s. net.)-This
appears in a fifty-third issue, and exhibits a steady growth in comprehensiveness. It consists of two parts, the first giving information about official persons and facts, the second being an alphabetical list of persons more or less dis- tinguished in politics, art, science, literature, sport, &c. This second part occupies more than twelve hundred pages, and con- tains, on a rough calculation, about ten thousand names. We are inclined to think that the "Recreations," which are more commonly not given, might be universally omitted.-Hazell's Annual, 1901. edited by W. Palmer, B.A. (Hazel!, Watson, and Viney, 3s. 6d ), is so well known for its convenient arrangement and the completeness and accuracy of its information that it is not necessary to do more than record its appearance. This is the fifteenth annual issue.-The ' Daily Mait' Year Book, edited by Percy L. Parker (Harmsworth Brothers, is.), contains "20,000 Facts of the Day," biographical, official, Parliamentary, com- mercial, &c.-The Church Directory and Almanac (Nisbet and Co., 2s. net) requires not a little correction, as far as omissions are concerned. The writer of this notice finds four names of clerical friends omitted.-The Banking Almanac,1901. (Waterlow and Sons. 15s. net.)-Knowledge Diary and Scientific Handbook. (Knowledge Office, 321 High Holborn. 3s. net.) - Live Stock Journal Almanac. (Vinton and Co. ls.)-Thomas's Hunting Diary. Edited by T. F. Dale. (Land and Water Office. 2s. 6d. net.)
